Just spotted this wee thing scoffing some breadcrumbs on my patio, any ideas what it is?

Can't say I've seen any birds quite as bright a yellow as this other than the exotic types.

This was taken 1 second before the neighbours cat tried to eat it (the cat was subsequently greeted with a large jug of cold water being thrown at it!), so I might never see it back here again.

Almost certain it's not a warbler, well going by that picture at least (I'd hate for anyone to think I actually knew what I was talking about!)

i does like birdies, feathered kind naturally. On first name terms with many in my garden. I have an extremely friendly Robin who comes and digs with me when im weeding, he hops about the same patch im working on, often less than 2 or 3 foot from me :)

It'll be a dead bird soon. I don't fancy it's chances with all that fancy canary singing it'll be blasting out.
